The EPA Report Obama Doesn't Want You To See!

When it comes to transparency, you'd better have x-ray vision when dealing with Barack Obama and his gang of ideologues in Washington, D.C. A case in point was proven, just this week, when an issue arose about a suppressed EPA Report on Climate Change and Global Warming.

Apparently, the Obama Administration, swept under the rug, a 98-page report that contested the effects of Global Warming and any immediate need to enforce "carbon footprint" reductions as mandated by the recently House-passed Cap and Trade Bill and the Kyoto Treaty.

(Click here to see a draft of that report that Obama and the EPA didn't want us to see)

The report was authored by Alan Carlin, an economist/physicist at the EPA and was rejected completely by the new EPA head because it was in complete conflict with the views and plans of the Obama Administration (See Full Story). Rather than allow the debate over Global Warming to go forward before pursuing the massive economic and regressive regulatory demands of Cap and Trade, Obama decided to stick that "report" where the sun doesn't shine.

Obama, like Al Gore, seems to think that the supposed cause of Global Warming, man-made CO2, and the solutions to it are a completely settled science. Of course, neither of these two people are scientists, themselves. Additionally, most of those on the United Nation's International Panel on Climate Change aren't either; and, it is obvious that Barack Obama wants to be in lock-step with this highly politically-motivated and primarily left-wing ecology group.

However, there are more than 31,000 scientists -- not politicians like Al Gore, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi -- in America, alone, who have put there names on a petition that begs the United States government to reject the false scientific claims of the global warming community (See Full Story). That, to anyone, cries out to the world that the science of "climate change" isn't even close to being settled.

Lately, any Republican criticism of the House of Representative's Cap and Trade Bill has been countered by the Democrats saying something like: "At least the Democrats have proposed something to fight Global Warming. Where is the Republican's proposal?"

This kind of argument is a red herring. By saying "Where's the Republican proposal?", the whole issue of whether or not global warming is even man-made is being completely skirted. In doing so, it implies that the science of global warming is settled; and, therefore, the Republicans should just fall in line and approve the Democrat's bill to fight the fight of global warming. End of discussion!

However, day by day, the people of this country and many of the people around the world are becoming more and more skeptical about global warming and its cause; as noted by this excellent article, "The Climate Change Climate Change", written by Kim Stassel of the Wall Street Journal. Even the proposed Cap and Trade Bill that was just passed by our one-sided House of Representatives had so many political concessions that the Congressional Budget Office found it to be totally ineffective. If the CO2 argument was truly a settled science and an important and valid fight, concessions would "not" have had to be made in an attempt to pass this bill because it would be seen by all as an important and valid cause for immediate and massive legislative action. But instead, there was significant dissent; especially from so many Democrats, themselves. They needed to be bought-off in this bill with both exclusionary language and with dedicated funding; attached as a 300-page addendum to the already 900-page piece of legislation.

As I have written before in this blog, the push for climate control is purely driven by an ideological belief and not based on any real or sustainable science. In fact, just last week I wrote: "The Truth About Cap and Trade" that covers this very topic. Everyday, the examples that the "greens" have used in support of controlling CO2 levels have begun falling apart. Take, for example, this article on the previously false belief that the Antarctic ice cap is melting away: "Report: Antarctic Ice Growing, Not Shrinking". Actually, most of the ice cap has been growing since 1993. Another fact that the "greens" don't want us to know and that their friendly mainstream media in this country has conveniently hidden from our sight. Then, too, the fact that the earth has been cooling, not warming, over the last decade has really hurt the climate-control movement.

Whenever scientific fact proves that those climate change ideologues are way off base, the ideologues fight back by suppressing the facts -- as in the case of Alan Carlin and as in the case of the Antarctic ice sheet gains. I actually heard one Democrat try to marginalize Mr. Carlin by saying that he wasn't a scientist; and, therefore, his report can't be taken seriously. He's just an economist. Well, apparently they don't know that Mr. Carlin obtained a degree in physics before he ever became a trained economist. That's why the EPA found him to be an important economist in their organization over the last 30 years; at least until Barack Obama took over the reins of the EPA. Apparently, that same standard is "not" being applied to Al Gore when everybody on the left seems to goes ga-ga over his words. Then, nobody questions the fact Al Gore only has a "civics" degree.

Anytime that the proponents of a policy or a program are afraid of being scrutinized, there's something that is being hidden from the light of day. Mr. Carlin's report exposes the lies of the climate change community and it is being suppressed because the eco-lefties of this country cannot really defend themselves against what that report is saying.

Sadly, Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Al Gore are each trying to treat us all like mushrooms. And, like the old saying says: Mushrooms are maintained by keeping them in the dark and by feeding them bullshit!
